Welcome to the forum Andre. Your UAZ looks in pretty good shape.

I don't think there any other active UAZ owners on the forum but I'm sure I'm not the only member who will be interested to hear more about it.

Regards,

Peter

Welcome to the forum Andre, a very interesting car you've got there. I've never seen one before, were they built by GAZ?

Here's the photos:

The UAZ-469 was introduced in 1973, replacing the earlier GAZ-69. The UAZ-469 presented two great advantages: It was able to drive in virtually any terrain and it was very easy to fix. The UAZ-469 reached legendary status for its reliability and off-road ability. The vehicle was not available for purchase by the public, but many were sold as surplus to private owners.
